Healing from Spiritual Capitalism.
Healing is sold to us as a product to be consumed. Whole industries capitalize on it while gaslighting us, perpetrating the same traumas it claims to heal.
Dear Insecurity, I Wish You Well.
I hope that we will meet again under better circumstances, when the light of love has filled us both, when we can transcend the misery we created when neither of us knew any better.
When Cupid Strikes Next, Will You Finally Love Me Back?
He simply comes along with a bow and arrow on his back, and strikes me in the heart without even knowing he’s done it. Once caught, there is nothing to do but get carried along by said cast thread and let it take me to all the places at the bottom of the ocean I never even wanted to go to. Feel ...
Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind, Unless I Don’t Agree with You, in Which Case, F*ck Off!
We are a society programmed by conditioning. Our lives are one big Pavlov’s dog experiment. When I lose weight, I will love myself. When I get the job I want, I will feel self-worth. When I fall in love, I will feel happy. And last but not least, if I shame someone else, I will somehow feel ...

Who Are You Trying To Be?
I believe that at our core is Love, but in many people there’s a thickly layered protective encasing made up with fear-based complexities: insecurities, unworthiness, self-judgment, self-loathing even, embarrassment, shame, guilt, horror at shadow self -- many, many unnecessary entrapments that ...
Excavating And Exorcising: To Find Yourself.
People hold a mirror to the self like nothing else can, I think. I found things I wanted to change because I wanted to change them in others. I found brutal honesty hurt me in the moment but was necessary in the long run. Lately I’ve tried not to sugarcoat my thoughts too much. People-pleasing ...
